How can I help?

At St Nicholas CEVC Primary school, the purpose of homework is to;

Consolidate learning - Revise, practise and memorise skills and learning from school
Promote partnerships with parents - shared experience
Give children an opportunity to apply learning in new contexts and to new problems
Be meaningful without impacting on positive family experiences
Promote independence and choice (good life skills)
Homework should be at an appropriate level for the child

Homework is shared via class newsletters every week.
